LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

Blythe Sinnett is a princess, born to a kingdom of kindness and just rule. But royalty comes with duty, even—and especially—when it weighs heavily on the shoulders of those bound to it. A treaty is signed to forge peace between two kingdoms, and Blythe is sent to become a queen, to carve a new life in a nearby land. But life in Clairvaux leaves her wanting.

Though she is royal in blood and standing,Blythe has never felt so alone. Surrounded by strangers, her only comfort is the nature of the jester, who despite being commanded to entertain the king, is more inclined to make his queen laugh.

On the final night of her wedding celebrations, the jester is the salve for the queen’s wounded soul. When it becomes clear that the king will never change, a bloody plan is set in motion to forever reshape his kingdom. No matter the cost.

When steel meets the crown, who will live to reign?
